Be aware!

‼️ Please be aware of a scam that has unfortunately affected many community members regarding lost pets ‼️

Scam phone calls are happening again with the scammer stating they are FWACC and the person's lost animal was hit by a car, needing emergency surgery and that they require payment over the phone.

They are able to mask the phone number they are calling from and have the caller ID give our shelter number, making them appear legitimate.

Please always be diligent when your contact information is posted for others to collect because it unfortunately gets in the wrong hands sometimes. We do not ask for deposits for emergency medical care to be paid over the phone or via a link. We are not a full service veterinary facility and would generally not be offering anything like this to the public.

Large and small, "aggression" gets labeled. Fear is a strong cause of these issues.

MYTH #7: Toy breeds act out because they have Small Dog Syndrome..

The truth is ... the world can be a very big, and sometimes very scary, place to small dogs. What we call Small Dog Syndrome is often FEAR.

Toy breeds were created as lap dogs for emperors and the aristocracy - to basically live on the lap of his owner and bark to alert to anyone approaching. These dogs have a tendency toward forming a strong bond with one person and guarding that person. They are know for alert barking. This combined with their small stature leads to a dog who is very vocal about his feelings. He is not just trying to be difficult or dominant.

In addition, we tend to just do things to small dogs without bothering to think about their feelings. Things like picking them up, carrying them around in purses, dressing them up, grooming them constantly, teasing them just to see them react and/or never letting them just be a dog.

Facts for your Friday! Dogs haven't necessarily been abused by men when they seem fearful to a man. Dogs are commonly just more sensitive to men. The more you know!

MYTH #1: Dogs that are afraid of men were abused by men.

In general, dogs who are afraid of people are more often afraid of men than of women.

Men generally have deeper voices and larger stature. They are more forward and direct with their movements. Dogs simply find men to be more imposing.
